Hunger.
It was the first sensation she felt after waking. But it wasn't any ordinary hunger. No this was an agonizing desperate need for nourishment. Simply she was starving. Wasting no time, she broke free from her tomb in search of sustenance. What she hadn't expected was how much the world had changed in her absence. Everything was different.
How much time had passed? Decades? Centuries? Millenniums? Why now? Her enchantment had held strong up to this point so what had happened? How had she awoken from her supposed eternal slumber? Surely no other had such immense power to break through her spell. She could think of only one in the past who had come close to conquering such a feat and that had ended in betrayal and bloodshed.
Fear.
If she had been awoken had he? Their lives had been tied prior to their slumber, so she could only assume whatever had awoken her had indeed undone the magic she had set upon him as well. And if he had awoken chaos would once again cover the world like a thick shadow over the sun. Leaving her to once again pick up the pieces of his destruction. But could she find the strength this time to finally put an end to him. He who had once been her anchor, the very being who pushed her to fight the raging battle within herself that would force her into accepting the darkness that was the true nature of her kind. Through out the ages they had walked side by side. Protecting the inhabitants of the world from the evils that roamed its lands. It was those alluring whispers of power that finally claimed his soul. The very darkness they once fought so hard to suppress had succeeded in seducing him of shedding himself of all his beliefs he had once prided himself of having and it was all thanks to a betrayal of a woman who claimed friendship and loyalty. Bloodshed poured freely and stained the once peaceful lands corrupting those who once rejoiced in their presence into a mad frenzy. They who were once hunters became the hunted and it was for that very reason she had placed them both to rest.
Unable to concentrate on anything but her hunger she shot out into the night and into the new world. If she had any hope of figuring out what was happening she would need to feed. And fast. She couldn't remain in such a weaken state. As she stayed within the shadows along the busy street she couldn't help but reach out into the humans minds. So much she couldn't understand and what she could pick up was not of any importance. Curious by nature she wanted to learn it all but knowing she had much to take care of she had to put all that aside and focus on the task at hand. She continued along the shadows into a more secluded area where she planned to catch the nearest prey to feed off of. And once her hunger was sated she would head west where she could feel the remains of magic pulsing in its direction. What ever it was had to be what had awoken her and she would be damned if she didn't get any answers as to what had caused her enchantment to end.
